    This is peak "asian fusion" the chicken teriyaki was pretty salty, the gyoza felt frozen, the rice was good, and my partner enjoyed his tofu mushroom bowl. My dish came with miso soup, but was never directed that it's in a vat by the counter, vegan! Yuck! Barely had miso flavor. Honestly if this is Asian food in Austin I'll pass.

    Pork Dumpling Bento ($14), Spicy Chicken Bowl with Egg Added ($14ish)

    4.5 Stars Wholesome, delicious, homestyle Asian food. I thoroughly enjoyed the pork dumpling and pork belly bento ($14). I loved all the components - the juicy pork dumplings, fresh summer roll, flavorful thinly sliced pork belly, crunchy daikon pickles, and chewy fluffy purple rice. I had a bite of my BF's noodles and they were wonderful. Great portions too. Free miso soup is the cherry on top. I thought it was a 5, BF thought it was a 4, so I average it out. Order at the counter and take a seat - casual ambience. Friendly and energetic staff.

    Koriente Curry A Mix Mix Bibimbap

    Value for money!!! The portions are super huge and tasty at the same time. Ambience could have been better but it felt good after sometime. My fav was the Koriente curry with half rice and half noodle. The noodle was so good and the curry had an authentic taste to it. I went for the mild spicy. The mixmix was bibimbap and the tofu add-on was well sauted and had a great taste to it. The best part was the free miso soup. It was great with seaweed!! Ended up spending $30 for two.

    Has been a while. And during Covid times it was take out only. But they're back! This small eatery offers dine-in lunch that includes miso soup and salad. Entrees are always made to order by friendly (like genuinely happy to be here) staff who are accommodating and make recommendations. The tea selection (both boba and non) is great and also made to order. There is some parking in the rear by the patio. Great place for a relatively quick and easy lunch downtown.

    Koriente is a quirky Korean fusion restaurant with a cozy vibe. The staff were very friendly. There wasn't any indoor seating available when we initially arrived, so they offered us bug spray to borrow if we chose to sit outside, which was such a kind gesture. They also had a large fan blowing on the patio. This was a really great restaurant experience with good vibes and food, but the raspberry milk tea I got was unfortunately so terrible that I cannot in good conscience leave a five-star rating. I was so enticed by the $4 price for bubble tea, which is something I am not used to seeing these days. I saw they had a raspberry tea, which I thought was unique. I thought it was going to be like a normal fruit tea, but when I ordered it they asked me what milk I wanted in it. I chose oat milk at no additional cost, which was very nice. Unfortunately, the drink tasted horrendous. I really like boba, and I tried to keep sipping it, but the taste was so appalling. My friends tried it, and they agreed it was unpleasant. They said it tasted like cough medicine. My friend got the passionfruit tea, however, and it tasted normal. It was good. For my meal, I ordered the rice medallion sauté with chicken. I enjoyed it, and the chicken was really tasty and not dry at all. The noodles had good vegetables and a tasty sauce. The portion was large, and I took a good amount of leftovers home. They also have a complimentary vegan miso soup that you can serve yourself from a pot. It was such a fire miso soup, even with it not having any fish broth. This is an order at the counter and clean up after yourself type of restaurant. There is a small parking lot behind the restaurant that appeared to fit eight cars at its max.

    Loved Koriente! The food was so light and tasty - yet massive portion sizes. The food was also very inexpensive for the quantity you got. I truly loved all the things we tried as it provided a real taste of the restaurant. I can't wait to come back here again!! I definitely will.

    Iced Chai and Passion Fruit Green Tea
    Priscilla L.

    Discovered this restaurant while exploring downtown on foot and was pleasantly surprised. Service was really fast and the workers here were nice. They even had miso soup on the house! Definitely a hidden gem in Austin. Everything tasted great and the portion sizes were pretty big. We ordered the pan-seared ahi tuna bowl with avocado and a spicy chicken bowl, both were great and very filling. The smoked salmon roll appetizer tasted really fresh as well. Passion fruit iced tea was a favorite too. Everything had a homemade taste, in the good way. Walked in on a Saturday afternoon and there was no wait. A great quick-ish bite if you're exploring downtown!

    Ahi tuna
    Ashley W.

    I got the pan seared ahi tuna! It was delicious($14)! You can choose how cooked do you want it (rare, medium, well done). I chose rare. The initial taste is a steak-like seasoning that makes the fish taste more meaty but then the aftertaste is more like sushi. I was surprised by how big the ahi tuna was! It was a decent size, which I really appreciate. The dish also comes with purple rice that is flavored with ginger pieces and a refreshing salad. They give you two different sauces, a soy sauce-based one and a spicy one. The inside decor is a mix of Korean and Gothic vibe. The service was fast and everybody was very friendly! The only thing was that there is a very loud bell that hangs over the door that leads to the outside dining. So it took me a few minutes to adjust to the noise.

    Japchae with tofu ($11 + $2.50 tofu)
    Rachel S.

    My friends and I were looking for something quick and light to eat in half an hour in the downtown area, and I'm so glad we found this place! We arrived just after they opened at 11am on a Thursday, and there were some other groups dining as well. We got the japchae with tofu ($11 + $2.50 tofu) and 2 summer rolls (total came out to be $27). The food was served in less than 10 minutes. The rolls were very refreshing and delicious when eaten with peanut sauce that we asked for. The japchae noodles were cooked to the perfect texture and came with a spicy bibimbap sauce that went well with the savory noodles. Interestingly, all the vegetables were buried at the bottom of the bowl, which I would have personally preferred the veggies on top but that's me. It still tasted great which is what matters, and the whole visit was very efficient!

    Beef bowl
    Jasmine L.

    Love this place! It's small and cozy, and the food in excellent! Service is wonderful as well. The beef bowl was amazing! generous portiond of meat and veggies, and I liked how you can choose more than one type of base! They had different tyles of rice and noodles. Parking is very limited, so beware of that. This place is definitely worth the trouble though

    Lemon Pepper Papaya Salad with Salmon
    Jamise C.

    The food here is delicious. I was in Austin for a conference, recently, and this restaurant was within walking distance of the convention center. I had the Pan-Seared Ahi Tuna (cooked medium at an employee's suggestion even though I normally eat it rare), miso soup, and peach ginger tea. They give great portions and the food was delicious (I didn't take a picture before I dug in, unfortunately). I was also eyeing the Lemon Pepper Papaya salad, so I decided to go back again the next day. That was my absolute favorite and I added salmon to make it more filling. The restaurant is quaint with indoor and outdoor seating in the heart of the city. The service was great and they gave me a complimentary miso soup the next day, I assume because I either came back two days in a row or because I brought new folks with me the second time. Either way, it was appreciated. If I'm ever in Austin again, I will definitely be back.

    Obake Bowl
    Arvid Y.

    Traveling with toddler can be challenging for various reasons. One reason is the food and not having your own kitchen or food from home. After we exhausted the room service kids menu (chicken fingers, fries, fruit plate), we looked for some toddler friendly delivery options. Koriente fit the bill. Seemingly healthier Korean inspired cuisine with a number of "simple" options consisting of protein, grilled vegetables, rice and noodles. We opted for a Teriyaki Chicken and an Obake Bowl. Both were good. Tasty and flavorful without being overly greasy or saucy. Our kiddo enjoyed the purple rice and jap chae noodles. The parents welcomed some Asian inspired cuisine after a weekend of eating a lot of BBQ and Mac & Cheese. This was a relatively light and clean meal. I would order from here again.

The Edamame - which were charred in a way that I feel like I've never experienced it before and had such great flavor. 2. The scallop roll had a thinly sliced shaved truffle on top that made the roll simple yet out of this world. Shout out to the manager who came by just to check in.
